I also really am averse to alpha software - I > don't like to use anything less than x.0.1 (after they've fixed the bugs > that were missed before the release <g>) Well, I've been using this 64Bit Adobe Labs Patch stuff for several months now, and honestly I cannot complain. My browser crashed before I used it, and it does now. Compared to the alternatives I have (assuming I am almost *forced* using Flash in some ways in 2010) -- running Windows or, OTOH, running FOSS and fiddling around, keep having audio problems and all stuff of other annoyances -- I really appreciate the Alpha release. I've seen software considered stable (for years) that was much buggier. > mark Timo -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFLfOfdfg746kcGBOwRAhDeAJ96stIHsyIuJ9AYiGV7ue0in8h2kwCbBX1U giMIbzRF9W5/Yk9W50gUZIc= =S2L2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
